About this Item
After a very successful and defining 17-year period at the helm of Steenberg winery, including induction into the Cape Winemakers Guild, John Loubser set out with wife Karen on her family farm in Robertson to further hone in on his artistry of producing fine Method Cap Classique sparkling wines - and only that.
The wines were immediately embraced as industry favourites, especially among fine dining establishments. Green Man is the Blanc de Blancs from 100% Chardonnay grown on limestone rich soils in Robertson.
